On December 21, 2013, the District exercised a partial option for one (1) month, while it secured the funding for the remainder of the option period. During that time, it was brought to the attention of DDOT that Alta's bicycle supplier had filed for bankruptcy. DDOT had verbal communication with the Alta (sic), which assured the program and procurement staff that Alta had a contingency plan that would ensure continuity of operations without any disruption. On February 10, 2014, DDOT received Alta's plan which outlined its expectation of its bicycle supplier as well as its own contingency plan. The plan stated that the main equipment supplier is expected to fulfill call center services and to fill any outstanding orders for stations and spare parts while under bankruptcy protection.
